This may already be something you do, but if not, you should. Everyone should make fresh mozzarella. SO easy, and done in 30 minutes, with maybe 5 minutes of actual work, from a gallon of milk to a pound of cheese. And then you have 3/4 of a gallon of fresh whey left over, that you can use to make Ricotta or bread or pancakes or pizza dough (almost anything that calls for buttermilk).
